Fortunately, Egypt's residents will have the chance to witness such a phenomenon.

Last March, The first lunar eclipse in 2024 took place, and it was a Penumbral one.

Unfortunately, Egypt's residents didn't have the chance to witness such a phenomenon.

However, the majority of Europe, Australia, the East of Asia, and Africa, in addition to the Americas, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and both poles witnessed the phenomenon.

It wasn't witnessed by the naked eye, so, sky lovers had to use telescopes to observe it.

The phenomenon lasted for 4 hours and 39 minutes.
